Lidocaine urethra
Common Questions and Answers about Lidocaine urethra
lidoderm
I have had this done several times and at least from my experience with other bladder and urethra pain patients many docs do this in office. MY URO though is quick and
sensitive, giving me the right to say stop when I can not tolerate it, yet encouraging me that if we make it through it last longer. I have never not made it through, honestly the fear of the procedure is worse to me then actually doing it BUT read how I go about it:
My uro only used lidocaine while doing it for most.
It may be due to the insertion of the catheter into the urethra which may be uncomfortable. Discuss this with your physician since it is possible that residual urine is still present. Relay to your physician how you do this so you may be properly guided in correctly doing the procedure.
Always observe strict sterile techniques during catheterization to avoid introducing any infections.
Hi,
By using a catheter which is bigger in size compared to what is required can result in the damage to the urethra and this damage can result in the development of recurrent UTI and also can lead to the development of a stricture in the urethra which is nothing but a narrowing of the urethra due to the fusion of the damaged tissues. Hence, I’ll suggest avoiding the use of the bigger catheter ebcuase of all these problems and thus it makes sense to remove it as early as possible.
It is a dialation of the urethra. After the second time, I told the doctor I would never ever do it again. It was done in the doctor's office so anesthesia was not an option. I'd rather deal with the occasional UTI that meds takes care of than go through that awful pain again.
I am looking for some answers on urethral dilation. When I was around 3 years old I had to have surgery to widen my urethra tube. I was having recurring UTI's and having accidents and wetting the bed. I can't seem to find much information on this condition. From what I have found, I believe it is more common in males and rare in females.
I appreciate your help!
t been put out for any of them. First, the nurse will usually inject lidocaine into your urethra to temporarily numb you. The urologist then inserts the thin tube with the camera on the end and looks around for thirty seconds or so. There might be a slight discomfort as the scope passes the prostate on the way to look inside the bladder.
Afterwards, you should be given some antibiotics to prevent infection.
after identifying the patient and obtaining verbal and written informed consent, the patient was
brought to the procedure room and positioned appropriately on the table; the uretha, gentilia, and perineum, were
prepared with antiseptic solution, two percent lidocaine jelly was instilled per urethra and allowed to dwell.
Flexible cytoscopy was then performed.
I am not a doctor, but have had many cystoscopies performed on me in recent years to check for bladder cancer recurrence. I get a a little squirt of lidocaine in the urethra as a numbing agent; I thought it was standard practice. Also,most every urologist today uses a flexible cystoscope. If your father's doctor still had the old-fashioned rigid kind, I hear it could be uncomfortable.
Personally, I find the procedure a minor, but necessary, discomfort.
Within a few weeks, I began having occassional burning/irritation of the urethra and vaginal opening. This has become more and more frequent and is now constant. It is very difficult to urinate when it is flared up. Not because of burning. but I just can't go much at all. At first, prosed worked but now that it is constant, only flagyl works. Lidocaine burns horribly. The odor is terrible when not taking the flagyl.
Another new option is bladder instillations of lidocaine, a local anesthetic to treat acute exacerbations of IC symptoms. Its a daily treatment for 5 days and was reported to work relieving symptoms for at least a month after treatment. There are other research options given in clinical trials. Check the ICA website for a list of trials and locations.
my co-worker gave me a new 10ml bottle of lidocaine, he uses it to give himself stitches. advice as to where to put the needle (i got from cvs insulin 31g-8mm),what to expect ie: will it burn- how long b4 its numb, and if i split the nail will it grow back? any advice will help..

Re: Lidocaine Enemas. I am warning everyone to be careful. My brother just died 3/31/12 from a lidocaine enema. He was only 28. (Lidocaine Intoxication) Lidocaine in liquid form. I don't want anyone elses loved ones to die like this. I hope everyone will be careful when dealing w/lidocaine. it is a dangerous substance when not used properly.
There are no contraindications for using lidocaine for the purpose described. The only danger is that lidocaine completely anesthetizes tissue, which is why you can cut or suture an area treated by lidocaine. Thus it is possible to cause a tear or injury that would not be noticed until the lidocaine wore off. In the case of normal intercourse, this should not be a problem.
In a simple dental procedure, I had what I can only describe as a seizure after getting what was supposed to be lidocaine and epinephrine injection. The area never got numb, and the pain from the point of the needle each time they attempted to inject me was painful. I was taken to the ER and released after 8 hours with no explanation.
I read that lidocaine can cause a seizure. I have had injections many times with no problem. What could have gone wrong?
I have been experiencing excruiciating pain in my bladder and my urethra is very tender. Also I experience constant pushing and pressure and it feels like I have to urinate all the time even after I've emptied by bladder. Also, I notice the same thing that as soon as I relax my body it just goes away!! My doctor did diagnose me with bladder spasms but I am still going to a urologist to make sure everything is okay.
It probably isn't the lidocaine, it's the epinephrine that is in the lidocaine. You can ask your dentist to use an anesthetic without epinephrine, I have had tons of dental work and always ask for that. Dentist doesn't mind at all and I've never had any problems. It doesn't last as long but if you start to feel anything while they are working the dentist will just give you more. I have done fine with it.
Look at the ingredients on the bottle. Benzocaine is mostly made up of lidocaine -a numbing agent in no way related to cocaine. You are more likely to test positive for THC (pot) from using motrin.
t know if going to the bathroom hurts because you have sores on your vulva and the urine is hitting those sores, or because you have sores inside your urethra. Both are super painful, but drinking water will help in both cases. It helps dilute the acid in your urine which is why it hurts so much.
